Being black in Germany, there quite some videos with this topic. They all give the impression, that the situation is everywhere the same. But you have to consider, that different regions had different waves of black immigration (whereas black is a little confusing, as there are also dark skinned races outside of Africa) of immigrants of extremely different backgrounds. And the background of all these immigrants was completely different than the family background of AAfroamericans: Black immigration to German has no connection with slavery at all, whch is probably a pretty big difference.
Having had only a very short colonial history black immigration to Germany is much less than to countries who had colonial empires and the reasons for this immigration is also.
The first black, beside some individuals like an African professor of Philosophy in the 18th century, to come to Germany probably were sailors to the port cities like Hamburg. Port cities are always used to multicultural diversity.
During the short colonial period a larger number immigrated, many of them belonging to the nobility, to study etc.
After WWII in Western Germany there were many so called "occupation kids" (Besatzungskinnder) born, around 3000 to 5000 with a black father, most of them Americans. Mostly the result of either real love or prostitution and not rape. Most of them are found in rural Bavaria were they were raised as normal Bavarian Farmer-children, meaning they never learned standard German only Bavarian dialect, are catholic, wear Lederhosen or Dirndel and are called Sepp or Zenzi.
After recovery from the war an immigration of Students from Africa began. They normally were also from the upper class. On of them is quite famous, as he is an acting King of a West African People and several documentaries were made about him and his family.
These group of immigrants were by average better educated than the average German (as most of them were academics or highli trained professionals. For example the head tailer of the oldest German theatre (in my hometown) was from Zaire (Dem. Rep. Kongo) an a highli respected person, as the theatre is the most important cultural institution of this city. His son was quite well known for a while either, as he was an active Fasnachter (member of a Carneval Association) who performed publicly (he might even have been on TV)
And then there were of course allied soldiers, but most of them stayed only temporarily and had few contacts to the local population, but several mixed families derived.
So you can see, that in different regions the perception of blacks was very different, but generally speaking positive.
Things started to change since the nineties due to the increasing immigration of refugees. The problem are not the REAL refugees, but the ones who are, at least I assume that, smuggled in by human traffickers to work as petty drug dealers or as prostitutes. These few individuals did lower substantially the social standing of all blacks in Germany.
Yes, 100%. I love this topic, I actually wrote my Bachelor's thesis on the history of blackness in Germany. It's very much so worth looking into...
@@KendraAshanti That is really great. It's not my main topic of interest but one of the topics I really like, as it is so diverse.
Some time ago I reflected how Germany has changed since my youth (I am born 1966 and actually named after Martin Luther King).
At this time there were really very few black people in Germany (and the "N-word" was political correct as Martin Luther Kig used it all the times) Before I was born my mother was teacher at the country side. One of the first things the villagers told her was the most sensational thing that had happened to the village since the end of the thirty.years-war. Several years ago three young black man were at the village. Actually they were hitchhiking and the car dropped them at the village entrance an dthey waited until another car stopped which drove in the right direction (the guys were probably frech soldiers on a leave). And years later this was still top news in this village.
But nowadays in my hometown blacks are absolutely normal (OK, its a university town and hosts a refugee camp). The daughter of a friend of mine came one day home from the kindergarden, telling such a funny story that one of the childs got a suburn. My friend had no idea what was funny about that. Sunburn is not funny. Well, her daughter never mentioned that this child was black, as it was of no importance to her at all. She just asumed that her mother would know, but she couldn't, as she was never told.
Why do you Americans always have that problem with the "German stare"? We just hold eye contact a few moments longer than you may be used to, and mostly that's also an offer to start a conversation.
I don't know how the Eichhörnchen got their name in standard German. In Bavarian, it's "Oachkatzl", the little oak cat. And, yes, I can pronounce "squirrel".
The statue of liberty was a gift from the French, so if someone wants it back, it would be their right, not the Germans'.
I didn't know that Kuchengabeln are unknown in America. I own some, but I don't use them at home. When I pour some sugar into my coffee, I need to stir it, and I can use the same spoon to cut and eat my cake.
We're taught from a very young age that it's rude, so a lot of us still hold onto that mentality when we travel 😅
@@KendraAshanti You will also never see a German sneezing into a piece of toilet paper except me; they use Tempos instead of Kleenex. At home, when I have a cold, I sneeze and cough into toilet paper, because it's cheape and the roll is longer and I don't care about the end.
@@eisikater1584 Ah, noch ein Klopaschneuzer, dann bin ich ja doch nicht der Einzige. :)
I love your videos and your great personality!
Hope you have a wonderful time here!
Btw. Nobody likes the own voice 😀.
Thank you!!
And that makes me feel better 😂

Well, if you consider to stay, consider:
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Staatsangeh%C3%B6rigkeit#Einb%C3%BCrgerung
as "Kann-Einbürgerung" as long as you are Student? Why? Because you can keep the US one then, because of the fee you have pay to drop is "unzumutbar" for a student for german law. Well, they could deny you, but actually the risk should not be to high in your case. Needing 8 years is not needed here, this is a "Muss-Einbürgerung" where you have the right to get the german one.
Thank you for the information!
